Pantanal wetland

The Pantanal is one of the world's largest and most diverse wetlands, located mainly in Brazil. It covers around 150,000 square kilometers of flooded grasslands, savannas, and forests, serving as a vital habitat for many plants and animals. The wetlands experience seasonal flooding, which supports rich biodiversity, including jaguars, capybaras, hundreds of bird species, and aquatic life. The Pantanal also plays an essential role in water purification, flood control, and climate regulation. Its dynamic environment is influenced by rainfall patterns and seasonal changes, making it a crucial ecological region in South America.
